Still Waiting...on Him

   Well, I have been out of work since January of '08.  At first I was on State Disability since I had to have both of my knees replaced.  I thought I'd be off work for 3 to 4 months.  But complications set in and it stretched into 9 months of disability.  My employer was unable to keep my position open for that long - so I had no job to go back to.  In this economy, there are just SO MANY people out of work and there are just not enough open positions to go around.  I am trying to be patient and to "wait upon the Lord" but it is getting a little tougher every month.  Sending out resumés almost every day and still no job offers.  I know He has something in mind for me.  I just hope I find out what that something is pretty soon.  So I am not only praying for a job offer, but I am also praying for patience.  That's usually a bit of a problem for me.  You know..."I want PATIENCE and I want it NOW."  But I am learning to take it all to Him. It's all in His timing.

Well, you went awhile between blogs, dear friend. I do check up on you occassionally. I understand your impatience. We waste so much time waiting for things to happen. I much prefer instant gratification. We must learn to bloom where we are planted, enjoy the here and now, accept what God has for us at this very moment. Sounds so simple, doesn't it?
Love you.
